Memorial Day weekend ranged from crowds of hundreds to solitary addition at veterans monument

FLINT, MI -- Whether it was the hundreds attending Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly or one World War II veteran finally receiving recognition 67 years after dying in war, the significance of Memorial Day weekend lived on through sunny weekend that faded come Monday afternoon.

"You have families
who have lost their homes, have lost their cars, and have lost everything, that
are showing up at shelters and soup kitchens needing support," said Tiffany Jones, Hamilton Community Health Network homeless and outreach coordinator.

"...It's a real issue that should be at the forefronts of
everyone's minds," she said.
